Registrar Dr Syed Fazl-i-Hadi reiterated his institution’s resolve to make all possible facilitation arrangements to enhance the enrolment percentage of foreign students at the university.

“Special steps are also being taken to encourage more people from the underprivileged tribal areas to take admission in UoP,” he added.

“The quest for achieving academic excellence should be more in students of hard areas as compared to the rest of the country because they have to prove a point that people of their area are peace-loving, progressive and want a safer world,” he said.
